New wet livestock feed based on products of the olive grove

We want to provide a new wet feed for ruminant livestock: cows, goats, sheep.
The mill produces Cooperative, plus olive oil extra virgin, products such as olive leaves or deboned pulp. Our facilities allow separate sheet of earth and stones that could come, so that a clean product is obtained very palatable for livestock. Olive leaf has an undeniable nutritional value, known by farmers in the area have always. On the other hand, Marc boning also has an interesting nutritional value, whenever still retains a substantial residual fat.
The new product, joining both elements, microensilado presented in bales of about 500 kilos. Undergoes a slight fermentation, but thanks to the absence of oxygen becomes a stable food for many months. The process is the same as is made with grains such as corn silage.
What we have done has been balanced mix of olive leaf, Boneless pulp and complementary feed, so that the union of the three commodities will give a full ration for ruminants maintenance. That is to say, a cow that eats 16 kilos covers maintenance needs in winter, and if it 25 kilos covers its production needs a calf which suckle.
In the case of sheep the same happens between 2 kilos and 3 kilos, covering everything from maintenance requirements to a sheep parida.
For goats, the maintenance ration for empty, males and rearing, would be a 2 kilos of product, and then be supplemented with concentrated feed for comple-tar milk production sought.
Olive leaf and pulp, besides having a nutritional value acceptable in terms of energy and protein, They provide a number of advantages that today are more difficult to assess.
Its high antioxidant content, It polyphenols whose health effects are animals beyond doubt, They appear in raw materials from the olive tree, although its beneficial effects can hardly be "economically evaluate". Animals that will consume more health, Metabolic less stress and better immune status, which should lead to more and better production .
The microsilos are already available in the Cooperative. For any questions about its use not hesitate to consult with the Cooperative.
